Captain's log - Stardate 2261.647

It took Spock until today to inform me solemnly that he had no intentions of replacing Bones as my consort, then began speculating how Bones could have gotten the idea that he wanted the consort position.

Between that question and knowing the twisted little way Bones thinks? Everything suddenly clicked into place and I explained it to Spock.

"You treat Bones like a rival suitor. Since Bones has always viewed Uhura like he does Jo, he wouldn't fight you for her. That leaves me."

Spock was both quiet and thoughtful as he left.
